Redi Edge Sharpener / and others alike

[Over&Under]

I picked up one of these from 3 Rivers yesterday.  It works great, and really does a quick nice job.  

I have seen other sharpeners like this one, and was wondering why the carbide "cutters" offset from one another so that they do not equally sharpen all the way to the tip.

Shouldn't they be set in line with each other so that the blade gets sharpend equally to the tip?  

Am I missing something or has anyone else noticed this??

I used one happily for YEARS! It was the only way I could sharpen much of anything...

Alas...it puts a mere 20* bevel on your blade! That is might thin! while it is 'sharp' it is also VERY fragile! Fragile as in susceptible to damage and dulling quickly.

Now I'm using the KME system and getting excellent results, quality angles of the 25-30* bevel which is just as sharp...way more durable...and far superior!

I don't know aobut the sharp to the tip...mine seemed to be...just fragile!

I use it regularly on the HH broadhead since with it the ferrule doesn't create a problem as it does with a file or some other simialr system.

They work great for all kinds of sharp and pointy things. There is a particular model recommended on Bravehearted Archery's web site for sharpening BH's.
Different models have different angles on the carbide cutters.

Three Rivers has a new version that puts a 30* edge on that works great for the WW's.

Been using the G5 carbide pull through sharpener for awhile now and it works slick.  A few pulls then a couple passes on the strop and my Magnus 2 blades are ready to rock...
